    Flash BIOS Utility Utilize the AMI Flash BIOS programming utility to update the onboard BIOS for future BIOS versions. Please contact ICS Advent to get this utility if necessary. Note: Remark or delete any installed Memory Management Utility (such as HIMEM.SYS, EMM386.EXE, QEMM.EXE, etc.) in the CONFIG.SYS files before running the Flash BIOS programming utility.

    There is also another way to prevent this detour. Go to “Standard CMOS Setup” and tune in the hard disk status, the “Primary Master”, and “Primary Slave” to “Auto” with their “32 bit mode“ being tuned to “ON”. This will force your system to automatically detect the current attached hard disks during each boot-up sequence.

    General Description Winbond has a WDT feature inside its W83627HF chip. There are many configuration Registors (CR ) in the W83627HF. The following sequence must be followed for CR programming: 1) Enter the extended function mode. 2) Configure the configuration registers. 3) Exit the extended function mode.
